LiontipsWolverhampton - Arsenal. Prediction (4.40) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Wolverhampton have a very difficult schedule in January. The Wolves played Nottingham Forest (0:3), Newcastle (0:3) and Chelsea (1:3) in turn. Ahead is a meeting with another representative of the top-3, Arsenal. The only positive moment in this period is a victory in the cup game against far from the strongest Bristol City with a score of 2:1 away.
As you can see, in matches against the best representatives of the Premier League, Wolverhampton defense is cracking at the seams - they have consistently conceded three goals. In total, since the beginning of the season, 51 goals have been in the team goal - this is the worst indicator in the Premier League. The change of coach in this regard has not helped, Vitor Pereira is unable to stabilize the game of his charges in defense.
It is certainly worth paying attention to the fact that the attack of the Wolves, as one of the outsiders, is showing itself to be quite good, they managed to score 32 times, which is the best indicator among the last five teams of the championship. In the tournament table, Wolverhampton holds on to a safe 17th place, but only on additional indicators is ahead of Ipswich from the relegation zone, largely due to the fact that the Tractor Drivers are also not scoring points now.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kalajdzic, Gonzalez, Mosquera and Toti will miss the match due to injuries, while Traore is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Wolves have been losing in the first half in three of their last five matches
- Wolves have won just four of their last 25 Premier League games
- Nine of Wolves' last 12 home games have seen at least two goals scored in the second half
- Wolves have committed more fouls than their opponents in their last four matches
Probable line-up: Sa - Doherty, Bueno, Agbado - Semedo, Andre, Joao Gomes, Ait-Nouri - Sarabia, Cunha - Strand-Larsen.
Current form
Arsenal is trying to chase Liverpool in the Premier League, but not everything is working out. Moreover, there is a risk of losing three places in the near future, since Nottingham Forest is behind, which is only behind on additional indicators. Over the last three rounds, the Gunners have failed to win twice, tied away with Brighton (1:1) and at home with Aston Villa (2:2) in the last round. Between these matches there was a difficult home victory in the London derby over Tottenham (2:1). The gap from the Merseysiders on the eve of the matches of the 23rd round is six points.
It not the first season that we've seen Arsenal not doing well in the second half of the season. It would seem that the Londoners have a decent roster, plenty of opportunities for rotation, to play in several tournaments. However, this time several key players dropped out due to injuries - and losses began immediately. With Aston Villa, for example, Mikel Arteta charges lost a two-goal lead.
In the Champions League, however, they have managed to avoid a serious decline. The day before, the Gunners dealt with Dinamo Zagreb (3:0) on their home field and are in third place in the table before the final round. Even a draw in the final game with Girona will allow Arsenal to win a ticket straight to the 1/8 finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
White, Tomiyasu, Saka, Jesus and Saliba are all out with injuries, while Lewis-Skelly is a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Arsenal have won in the first half in their previous three matches
- The goal exchange bet has played in five of the Gunners' last six Premier League matches
- Arsenal have been caught offside more often than their opponents in their last four games
Probable line-up: Raya – Timber, Kivior, Magalhaes, Zinchenko – Odegaard, Partey, Rice – Trossard, Havertz, Martinelli.

1.60Tip and bets
Arsenal have dropped points twice in the last three rounds and another setback could see Nottingham Forest overtake the Londoners in the table. It is clear that the Gunners should have no problems with motivation today. They have already dealt with Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League with class, and Wolverhampton are definitely not stronger than the Croatians. Plus, the Wolves regularly fail in matches with the best teams in the Premier League, and their defense constantly fails. In four of the last five head-to-head encounters, Arsenal won with an advantage of at least two goals, which is what we expect this time too.
Our prediction is Arsenal win with Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.78

Bet on the exact difference in the score
We expect that Arsenal will achieve a comfortable victory with their class and avoid a nervous ending. In three of the last five head-to-head meetings, the Londoners beat the Wolves with a two-goal advantage, which we expect today too.
